Ti seed to freeze in that mont, and Kai Bright could only hear his own heartbeat growing louder and moving closer, until it felt like it was pounding right inside his head, ready to explode.
Suddenly, Kai grabbed Sophie Wilson’s hand, tears of excitent welled up in his eyes, "Sis, you’re actually the big Boss, huh? Why didn’t you tell earlier? Don’t worry, I can handle it!"
"Bro, I... I... I just found out too!" Sophie’s reaction wasn’t any better than Kai’s.
The jewelry manager’s words had also left her quite bewildered, okay?
Boss?
He was looking at her when he said it, was he actually talking to her?
The manager watched Sophie and Kai banter with a benevolent smile on his face, like he was looking at two younger family mbers.
"Um, manager..." Sophie turned her head to look at the manager.
"Boss, you can just call Patrick Grant." The jewelry manager, Patrick Grant, said smiling.
"No, no, you’re around my dad’s age, I’d better call you Uncle Grant." Sophie waved her hands hurriedly as she spoke.
Her actions made Patrick Grant laugh, "Boss, you’re still the sa as before."
Before?
My goodness!
Sophie sighed inwardly; she and he really knew each other before.
"Uncle Grant, but I..." Sophie looked at Patrick Grant with difficulty.
"I know, the boss doesn’t rember things from before," Patrick Grant said with a smile, "The boss told that."
Sophie blinked blankly twice; she was really confused.
Fortunately, Kai Bright retained so of his wits and asked, "Are you sure Sophie is your boss? There’s no mistake?"
Patrick Grant shook his head with a laugh, got up and went to the safe, opened it, and took out a voice recorder and a stack of docunts.
Without further ado, Patrick Grant pressed the play button on the recorder, and imdiately, a familiar voice ca through, "Uncle Grant, I’m off to pursue a new life, and I’ll forget the things of the past. Let’s et again if fate allows it!"
Sophie was dumbstruck. It sounded a bit like her voice, but... could this unreliable thing really have been done by her?
Sophie looked at Kai for answers, and Kai shrugged—what use was that? How would he know?
But...
"It sure sounds a lot like you, very much so." Kai said conservatively, but what did it an ’a lot like’? It practically was her.
However, when it ca to this sudden ’recognition’ from Patrick Grant, he still exercised a certain level of caution.
But, speaking of scamrs... what kind of idiot scamr would get themselves a boss to divide their assets with?
Patrick Grant opened those docunts, pointing out the handwriting to Sophie.
Recognizing her own handwriting was sothing Sophie could do.
Sophie felt that sothing was definitely off about how she went out today. She only ca to the jewelry shop to try her luck, who would’ve thought she’d encounter such enormous luck? It was surreal.
"It’s just a bit regretful that all these years, we didn’t have a single photo of you, Boss," Patrick Grant said with a smile.
"So..." Sophie swallowed hard and asked, "Am I really the... Boss of the jewelry business?"
"Certainly." Patrick Grant nodded with amusent.
"Then, can I really have this ’Miss’ thing? Just give it to for free?" Sophie asked, pointing at the ’Miss’ she had been drooling over for so long.
